What Does a General Contractor Do?
A general contractor (GC) is the master organizer of a commercial construction project. While subcontractors like electricians and plumbers focus on their individual trade, the GC oversees the entire build. This includes hiring and scheduling all specialty trades, procuring materials, managing the daily workflow on the job site, handling all permit applications, and maintaining continuous communication with the client.
The right general contractor doesn't just manage logistics—they provide leadership, problem-solving, and accountability when unexpected challenges arise. At S-Tier Construction, we go beyond the standard GC role by bringing owner-level commitment and transparent communication to every project we take on.
Our General Contracting Responsibilities
We handle every detail so you can focus on what matters most—running your business.
Subcontractor Management
We maintain a trusted network of licensed, vetted tradesmen across every discipline—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing, and finish work. We hire, schedule, and oversee every subcontractor to ensure consistent quality and accountability.
Permitting & Compliance
We navigate the complex Phoenix municipal codes, working directly with the City of Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, and surrounding municipalities to secure all necessary building permits and ensure full regulatory compliance at every stage.
Schedule Management
We develop rigorous project timelines that sequence every trade precisely. By proactively managing material procurement and coordinating deliveries, we prevent the scheduling conflicts and costly delays that derail under-managed builds.
Budget Accountability
We provide detailed, transparent estimates and actively monitor costs throughout the build. If scope changes arise, we communicate immediately with clear change-order documentation so there are never any surprise invoices.
Quality Control
We conduct regular site inspections throughout every phase, verifying that each trade performs to our standards before the next phase begins. Our rigorous quality control process is what separates a S-Tier Construction build from the competition.
Final Inspections
We coordinate and pass all required city inspections—rough-in, framing, mechanical, and final—ensuring your facility receives its certificate of occupancy without unnecessary re-inspections or delays to your grand opening.
